Modifying Alimony: When Is It Needed?
In order to modify your alimony or spousal support order, you will likely need to go through a significant change of circumstances for the family law court reviewing your petition to approve it.
Without there being new financial demands or strains on you or your ex-spouse, the court might not find enough reason to make the modification.
Significant changes of circumstance that might convince the court include:
- Receiving spouse loses employment unexpectedly
- Receiving spouse finds gainful employment
- Either spouse experiences a medical emergency that causes expensive medical costs
- Either spouse remarries
